For the sake of discussion -- and please, make disparaging comments about as many of these as you like -- here are some of the bands I'd like to see at Sasquatch 2011. Bear in Heaven Sleigh Bells Black Dice Cake The Books Clem Snide Fiery Furnaces Das Racist Fuck Buttons Major Lazer Menomena Philistines, Jr. The Morning Benders Snowglobe Mice Parade DOOM Alexis Gideon with headlining slots going to Primus Radiohead Tom Waits With the exception of Tom Waits, I don't feel like any of those are really out of the question and several of them are pretty likely. So Primus to headline? Are you fucking serious? I like Primus and have seen them several times but I think you might be putting them a bit high up on a festival list, they could get away with maybe headlinng the Wookie stage and that might even be a stretch. "My response is that I remember a time when Pearl Jam was on the State Fair circuit. The Papa Roach/Third Eye Blind/Weird Al circuit. Pearl Jam used to have to play in venues where people had no choice but to hear them perform." When weas this? Everytime they have come to my town they have played to a sold out arena with 15,000 fans, the only time I can remember this not being true was the tour for Ten.......they sold out a 5,000 seat arena. You may not like PJ but they have drawing power. You talk about all these fights from 09 with these idiots running around doing nothing but causing shit, I didn't see 1 fight that year and thought NIN and JA were rad. Maybe pay a bit more attention to the bands and less to the audience and you might enjoy the experience more. You want this to be a perfect festival for you? You don't like this band headlining or that band even playing at Sasquatch because it brings in too many idiots? If I remember correctly there are more than 1 stage that has music playing, I didn't like Pavement playing, didn't complain though because I knew I could head to a different stage and see great music there. Now if they had 4 brutal acts on at 8 in the evening then you could complain about the lineup and the crowd, but in my experience that hasn't happened. Primus headlining.....hahahahaha

and with few exceptions your taste in music sucks, as well. I'd be willing to bet you don't know who 1/4 of those bands are. And you seem to know so much about music as well, you must have discovered 3/4 of those bands with talk like that.

I can totally see Primus headlining, actually. If Tool can headline, Primus sure can too.

I'm seeing Primus with Portugal, The Man next month! Primus would be a great headliner! If Ween can headline a night it would be totally possible for Primus to do it. Not saying it will happen, but I think it has been shown that bands with loyal fan bases can be given headlining slots. Also I would say more people probably know of Primus over Ween (though I think Ween has kept a larger fan base along the years), coupled with Jay Lane returning might cause some "manufactured" excitement to those who only have heard their name.

So Primus to headline? Are you fuckinbla blablablaetch. blablablabl5,000 fans, the only time I can remember this not being true was the tour for Ten.......they sold out a 5,000 seat arena. You may not like PJ but they have drawing power. You talk about blablablablaeven playing at Sasquatch because it brings in too many idiots? If I remember correctly there are more than 1 stage that has music blablablablaappened. Primus headlining.....hahahahaha Who the hell are you? Oh, whatever. Some asshole. Anyway, Primus is about exactly as big as Ween I'd say. Add to that the first new Primus record in ten years this fall, and the general timbre of headlining acts the last couple years and I'd say Primus is more likely to headline a night than almost any of the other bands suggested here, including dumb ol' Arcade Fire and boring ol' Pearl Jam. It's okay if that is funny to you. edit: I'm seeing Primus/Portugal. next month too! I got really great seats at the Schnitz in Portland. Way excited.

Primus was as big as Ween when they hit the peak of their career with the Brown Album, That was how long ago? They haven't had a good album since Pork Soda and that was what.....95ish? Ween has continued to put out stellar albums and the fan base know this so you probably don't want to compare. I have seen Primus 5 times over the years and never in a bigger venue than 2,000 so how are they going to headline the Gorge? PE is a much bigger draw and they managed to headline the Wookie stage so please give me some insight as to what i'm missing here. Why are they more likely to headline....is it because they are touring without Tim Alexander? You were 8 years old when they were putting out the best music of their career so please don't act like you know much, you don't know shit.

Biff. Fuck you, in the ear, hard. You manage to be an asshole without being engaging at all. You don't merit me taking the time to respond with anything more than that.

And that's why you are an idiot gramma, you attempt to sound brilliant yet you can't respond to an honest post. Hopefully some douchebag throttled you at the 09 fest and that's why you are such a bitter pussy.

And you're some washed-up forty year old dickshit strong-arming your subjective history of Primus (BROWN ALBUM the height of their popularity? Which fucking 90's did you live through?).
Nobody is attempting to sound brilliant, unless you consider sentence structure and punctuation to be hoity-toity indulgences. FUCK. YOU. DUDE.

What album was the biggest then dipshit? Did I say the biggest or the best? That's what I thought. I remember the 90's well, and one thing I don't remember is Pavement being big at all.
You don't seem to enjoy being called out so how about you stop acting like a fuckhead for a bit.

You said biggest, and Brown is when people - especially Les Claypool - stopped caring about Primus. They managed one more album after that and sales were so dismal they called it in.
Punchbowl was their biggest album (check the sales figures DIPSHIT -- certified gold in less than two months; Brown Album never came close; #8 on Billboard to Brown's #21) and their best.
Meanwhile they're headlining the same venues they played in the 90's on their current tour -- including the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, Red Rocks, and Club Nokia.
It doesn't count as 'calling out' if you don't know what the hell you're talking about, you ignorant fuck.

My fourteen cents on Primus and Pearl Jam:
My first thought at Primus headlining was positive. But, there are still great seats available locally at the Schnitz. The venue only holds 2,500, and it appears as though only 1,200 tickets have been sold. I don't get it, I thought they were a much bigger draw. Wilco sold out the same venue in a couple days.
Last time I saw Pearl Jam, they played about ten songs everyone knows the words to, Eddie Vedder had great drunken commentary between songs, he dove in a mud pit near the end of the show, Mike McCreedy played a nice guitar solo behind his head (entertaining), they played a song with Ben Harper (yawn), their energy was off the chart, they played "Keep On Rockin In The Free World" as one encore, and ended with the "Mountain Song," and just for fun, had Perry Ferrel as a surprise guest sing it. Good show, no way, amazing live show.
I'm no Pearl Jam fan, but it would be a huge land for Sasquatch, and you would be a fool to not to stick around (if you are already there). There will be douchebags at Sasquatch next year regardless of if Pearl Jam plays.
